Black Belt Course
 

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

 

We use DMAIC to solve complex problems.

You learn to use data analysis and visualization for process improvement and product development, and guide others in improvement methods.

The course is 4-days classroom.

 
 

Learning Objectives

 
  • Use the DMAIC method to solve complex problems and lead larger improvement projects that involve multiple departments.
  • Use data analysis and visualization for process improvement and product development.
  • Make fact-based decisions based on statistics and data analysis.
  • Strengthen your leadership skills to be a driver in the company's improvement work.
  • Develop skills to succeed with change.
  • Coach Green Belt and project team participants.
 

Target Audience

 

This course is suitable for those who lead improvement programs, have operational responsibility or quality responsibility, work with process and product development, lead complex improvement projects involving multiple departments, and others who are concerned with maintaining an overall perspective in improvement work.


 

Data Analysis & Visualization

The course follows the DMAIC structure:

Define:
  • Identify and define process- or product-related problems to be improved.
  • Set specific, measurable goals for improvement.
Measure:
  • Collect and analyze data to understand the current situation (use of descriptive statistics, histograms & control charts).
  • Evaluate process performance with capability analysis and determine how to improve it.
  • Use control charts for variation analysis to understand and quantify sources of variation.
  • Evaluate measurement systems to ensure accurate measurements (repeatability, reproducibility, stability, sensitivity, and capability).
Analyze:
  • Prove root causes with graphical analyses:
    • Pareto
    • Box plot
    • Scatter plot
    • Correlation and regression
    • Hypothesis testing
Improve:
  • Use Design of Experiments (DOE) to identify optimal process settings.
  • Apply DOE in product development.
  • Implement improvements.
Control:
  • Maintain improvements using control charts and continuous monitoring.
  • Implement control plans to ensure that improvements are sustained.
